Hokie Hoops Recruiting News
Hokies had Braydon Hawthorne, Class of 25 SF out of Huntington, WV in for a visit.
Hawthorne is #71 in 247Sports and #106 in 247 Composite. Think this has to be direct result of bringing Frazier in who was recruiting him to WVU. Hawthorne had committed to WVU but requested release.

Who's next? What other holes?
Taking into account of those we have already gotten commitments from who do we see the Hokies needing to pursue next?
I am really hoping Coach Moore is recruiting his actual family.
